The Salute

According to some modern military manuals, the modern Western

salute originated when knights greeted each other to show friendly

intentions by raising their visors to show their faces, using a salute.

Others also note that the raising of one's visor was a way to identify

oneself saying "This is who I am, and I am not afraid." Medieval

visors were, to this end, equipped with a protruding spike that

allowed the visor to be raised using a saluting motion.

A great moment tony and well captured too! Best regards, Rob
